Etymology
Perete descends from Latin paries, parietem, meaning wall. The word passed into Romanian through ordinary spoken use, unlike many later borrowings, so it counts among the language's core inherited vocabulary. Older Romanian texts also show the variant părete, and regional or archaic spellings such as perețe turn up in older printings.
